Hello,
I am looking for any information on James Wiley Cobb and/or Grace Ethel Cobb. Grace's maiden name was Castleberry. The had two sons, L E (adopted) and Carthel. I know they lived in Des Arc, AR for a time and later in Searcy, AR. I've included birth and death dates below.
Grace Ethel Cobb (b. January 25, 1898; d. February 2, 1963)
James Wiley Cobb (b. May 3, 1890; d. February 17, 1972)
They are both buried in Searcy, AR and there are several other Castleberrys buried nearby but I have no idea if there is a connection.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Katie

My great grand father was James H. or W. Cobb. He was married to Catherine Dickerson in 1881 in Hopkins County Kentucky. Their children were Emmanuel, Ivy and twin Marjorie, Bertha, Lillian, Cora May my grandmother and Marshall.
James was a tobacco farmer. At the end of his life he lived with my grandmother in Evansville Ind. until his death in 1939-40.Does any of this sound familiar to you?
My parents were almost 40 when I was born so I did not actually meet James.
Thanks,
Karen

Theo Cobb Landon was Governor Alfred Mossman Landon's wife. I have a lot of info on her and you're welcome to contact me for more.
Newspaper Clipping I possess - probably from The Pittsburgh Press in 1936
Note: There is also a beautiful picture of her in this newpaper clipping.
Actual text:
CANDIDATES FOR FIRST LADY
Landon's Wife Is Youngest Of Possible White House Hostesses.
36-Year-Old Woman Endeared to Friends by Her Neighborly Ways - Has Hobby for Collecting Early American Glassware.
In the Governor's mansion at Topeka, Kans., lives the fourth subject of this series. She is Mrs. Alf M. Landon, and because her husband is a Presidential possibility, she may someday live in the White House. Ada Montgomery, women's editor of The Topeka Daily Capital, who has known Mrs. Landon since girlhood, tells about her in this intimate story.
By Ada Montgomery
Special to The Pittsburgh Press
Topeka, Kans., Feb. 21 - The youngest of the 1936 First Ladies possibilities is delightful 36 year old Mrs. Theo Cobb Landon, wife of Governor Alf M. Landon of Kansas. Should political fortunes make him the next President, she would be the youngest mistress of the White House since Grover Cleveland installed his 22-year old bride there, and her two young children would be able successors to Sistie and Buzzie Dall, the Presidential grandchildren who have rounded out the family life at the Executive Mansion.
Theo Landon's friends and neighbors expect her accession to the White House would convert that August residence into one of her neighborly spots of the nation for they insist, she takes after her father, Sam Cobb, long a Topeka financial power. What they mean is that like her father, she is straight-forward, unaffected, sincere and unafraid. Not given to "palavering' with people, never "putting up a front" and never under any circumstances showing off.
She is a most attractive person, slender and of medium height, with dark eyes and hair and a dimple in her right cheek. It's the dimple they say, which first captured Alf Landon's admiration. He was widower with a nearly grown daughter, Peggy Anne, when they met. Married in 1930, they have added to the family Nancy Josephine, 3, and John Cobb or "Jack", 2. Peggy Anne, 19, is a sophomore in Kansas University.
PLAYS HARP
Mrs. Landon is a harpist. She long played regularly at home and at occasional social affairs, but nowadays she plays chiefly to accompany the childish voices of Nancy Jo and Jack when they sing before going to bed.
Her greatest delight is telling little stories concerning the children's sayings and doings. She has a keen sense of humor that Nancy Jo's habit of making candid comment on any peculiarity shown by visitors at the executive mansion puts severely to the test. A gentleman caller wearing spats and carrying a cane was the latest victim. Nancy Jo didn't hesitate to say she didn't like the ensemble.
Usually Mrs. Landon breakfasts with the children and spends most of the morning with them. She has luncheon with the Governor and his guests. During the past few months, guests have been plentiful at the executve mansion, important personages coming from far and near to interview the Kansas "budget blancer."
She crochets and knits and has recently finished making brother and sister suits for Jack and Nancy Jo.
An enthusiast over antiques, her collection of luster ware and Early American glass is one of the finest in the state. The Cobb home is an eight-room house comfortably furnished and possessing that "hominess" so fratifying to the visitor. In the corner of the living room is a large cupboard holding Mrs. Landon's collection of luster. Many of the pieces were given to her by the Governor on various anniversaries.
AIDS CHILDREN'S CHARITIES
In the everning if there are no callers, Governor and Mrs. Landon talk and read until bedtime. These evenings together are their happiest times.
Mrs. Landon is a graduate of Washington College, Topeka, and a trustee of the college. Her sorority is Delta Gamma. She is a member of the American Association of University Women and of a few local clubs.
On Nancy Jo's birthday, July 29, Mrs. Landon gives a party for children at the Provident Association. On Easter children from the Topeka orphanages are invited to an egg rolling on the executive mansion lawn. When the Children's Theater gives its performance numerous children are sent tickets by Mrs. Landon.
She is interested in sports, but doesn't participate in any. She plays an indifferent game of bridge and it doesn't worry her. She can cook a meal if she cares to, but as she points out, "why do so when I have a cook, who can cook a far better meal than I?"

I hope that after nine years this message may get to you.
You believed that James H. Cobb may have been the brother of your grandfather. James m. Kathryn Dickerson or Dickenson. He grew tobacco in Kentucky. They had seven children.
If you could share any information I would be so grateful.
